Re: Cybathlon - Looks to be a very cool event
This looks fascinating! Their website says they'll be livestreaming it. Unfortunately, looks like it starts at midnight in my timezone, so I don't know how much I'll be able to watch.

Re: Southern Championship math question
PNW is going to be hell. We are hosting the FTC super-regional next year, and that's going to take one of the weekends that would normally be district events. I don't know how we'll fit everything...

Re: Fun to do at St Louis

Re: FTC teams list for Worlds?
Thanks! Two teams from this area, nice.
Is there no official FIRST listing, so the Reddit folks had to make this one to fill the gap? That seems like extremely poor management if so.

FTC teams list for Worlds?
I've been trying to find a list of the FTC teams who will be at Worlds, to see if anyone from my area made it. FIRST doesn't seem to have made this easy to locate! Can someone please give me a link?

Re: What defines a field fault?

Re: 5891 Road to Championship
I know that donations to schools are tax-deductible, but I don't know if doing it through GoFundMe eliminates that advantage. Anyone have info on that?

Re: The Triple Tortuga is Contest born.
Is this available somewhere? I'd like to hear it!
Personally, I've been imagining a 100-voice choir with orchestra singing "Oh, Tortuga!" to the tune of "Oh, Fortuna!" from the Carmina Burana.
